World Capitals Voronoi

> Arguably, every classroom (and home with children) should have a globe Or even better is to build one. It is a lot of fun. It is very instructive to understand why you need to shape the gores that you cut out of flat paper to stick them to the sphere. The boundaries of the gores need to curve so…

I remember seeing something similar to https://www.jasondavies.com/maps/voronoi/capitals/. But the areas were weighted by the populations of the capitals. You ended up with something quite close to real political maps IIRC.

It's common to want some minimum spacing between your random points, so they don't get clumped together, i.e. approximating uniform spacing rather than uniform probability distribution. For that, Poisson-disk sampling is good. See e.g. https://www.jasondavies.com/maps/random-points/,…
